Tim Kurkjian said yesterday (PTI) that, after spending an entire day at NYM camp followed by one at NYY camp, he heard much praise and not a single complaint from players on the new rules.
I believe him, although that might depend on to which "new" rules he's referring.
Also, the stakes are mostly non-existent in spring training.

It does seem to pick up the game pace.
ESPN features the clock prominently on the display, which is crud. I don't need to see it like it's the NCAA shot clock. But more weeknight games ending in the 9:30-9:40 range are OK by me.

yeah, if my kids are more able to stay up to watch the game more often, instead of maybe the first inning if we're lucky, then the pitch clock will be more than worth it.
the one thing i'm actually a bit worried about is if the games go quicker, will there be enough time to actually go get concessions?

Believe me, peoples are already complaining about that.
I'm sure they'll come up with ways to pad the game if things are coming in under the target.

It would be kind of amusing if they get hit with a bite on the boo boo
and notice a drop in concession revenue.
I read somewhere that next year they want to experiment with three
ghost runners,, four outs and maybe three balls is a walk in the minors.
(I totally made that last part up)

Having three balls certainly would slow a player down.

They haven't changed the between innings time nor the length of each pitching change (sigh).
Concession business will be just fine.

What happens when the clock gamesmanship becomes a defining part of the game?

More Max Madness. Called for a balk, not because he didn't come to a complete stop, but because he quick-pitched Victor Robles who wasn't ready and looking up. The twitter thread includes a post-game Max Q&A where he explains his side and a tweet from Howie trying to make sense of it all. Baseball in 2023 is weird.

Test the limits of the rules now.
That's part of what ST is for.

I've been thinking that this is inevitable, and will probably be addressed in yet another rule change for 2024.

It is pretty good, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the selling the changes through propaganda.

I don't tweet much, if at all really but...
"Pitch clock and gametime management - good. Ghost runners - stupid."
You've all been tweeted. Yay!

Yeah, the question is too frequently phrased in terms of "What do you think of 'the new rules'?" Each rule clearly deserves to be considered individually.
But that's the way The Man operates.

Carrasco flat out said the pitch clock bothered him today. Definitely something to watch as he already felt like the most likely starter to have a NON INJURY related regression to shit this year.
